Name: Tsukiyomi, literally "Moon Reader" or "God of the Moon"
Type: Kekkei Genkai,Short range (0-5m)
(Named after the Shinto Moon God, Tsukuyomi) - This Genjutsu is one of the most powerful Uchiha jutsus and is among the highest level of genjutsu in the Narutoverse, and is enabled by the Mangekyō Sharingan. Execution of this technique will trap the victim in an illusory dimensional world where all aspects, including the perception of time, are controlled by the user. The user can then torture the target for as long as desired, inflicting vast mental damage, even enough to kill the target. Targets of this technique will most likely suffer mental collapse; if they are lucky enough to be left alive, they will not be in condition to fight for a while. Time is also distorted in the illusionary world: for example, the target can feel the effects of three days when only mere seconds have passed in the real world. Tsukuyomi requires that the target make eye contact with its' user; however, Uchiha Itachi seems to be able to 'force' his opponents to make eye contact with him, most likely through the use of the hypnotic suggestion ability of the Sharingan, as he demonstrated when he used this technique on Uchiha Sasuke, who had both of his eyes closed prior to Itachi's activation of the technique, but opened them in a shock/fear expression as Itachi used the technique on him (Note that this may not have been the case; it is equally possible that Sasuke opened his eyes of his own volition, although unwisely). Such a powerful technique is not without its disadvantages, however; Tsukiyomi is an enormous chakra drain on the user, which discourages its frequent use. In addition, it has been implied in the manga by Kakashi that repeated use of Mangekyō Sharingan has a detrimental effect on the user's eyesight.
